Happy New Year! Mare goes into depth on how she's going to set goals for 2021 and leave the lazy days in 2020. Moving forward, she shares that the only way to see true progression stems from hard work and self discipline. A new year means a fresh start for everyone, cheers!

Mare breakdowns the best ways to accept and ignore criticism and how we ourselves, are our biggest critics. We tend to put so much pressure on ourselves by letting others control how we feel. Mare shares her thoughts on how being different from the rest is much more intresting than trying to fit in, enjoy!

Mare touches on why it is so crucial in todays world to be the one to start the conversation, not just be a participant in it. To be unpolished and stragetic with your words, create new perspectives while also taking a step back to listen. Making connections and relationships with people in your life who you normally wouldn't approach, putting yourself in uncomfortable situations to grow and expand your communication skills. Each and every one of us are still learning and working on our own lives, how can we be more than an "extra" in somebody elses. What is our impression on others? Why is starting the conversation so important?
